Phish live at the Spectrum "Down with Disease" December 2, 1997!
Description
The Concert Room features legendary band Phish, and a stellar performance during their Fall Tour 1997. Phish rolled in to the Spectrum for a 2 night stand, on December 2 and 3, 1997. The shows were recorded and then later released as a 6 CD box set featuring 33 tracks in March 2024 (The Spectrum '97), these shows were the best on the tour, and "Down with Disease" is among the best of the entire 1990's. This could be due to the fact that Trey Anastasio considers the Spectrum home, having grown up in nearby in Princeton NJ and attending numerous concerts that helped shape his love for live music. Phish takes their inspiration from the Dead and many diverse genres, separating them from their peers and to this day have a loyal following. Enjoy this great performance and purchase the box set of these phenomenal shows at the Spectrum!
